Teens caught with a click in Wrentham
BY STEPHEN PETERSON SUN CHRONICLE STAFF

WRENTHAM - The latest underage party was broken up by area police following the efforts of the school resource officer at King Philip Regional High School scanning Internet social networks popular with youths as well as complaints from neighbors, police say.
And one of the most disturbing parts of the raid Friday night at a Wrentham home, police add, is many of those at the party wore pink bracelets in tribute to Taylor Meyer, the King Philip senior from Plainville who was found dead following a party last month in Norfolk.
"Several people who were arrested were also present at the party Taylor Meyer attended just prior to her disappearance," Detective Lt. William McGrath said.
Twenty underage adults and two juveniles were arrested in the third large illegal party raided by police in the King Philip towns since the tragic death of Meyer, 17, who was found Oct. 20 after a two-day search. Authorities said Meyer had apparently drowned in a swampy area at the former Norfolk airport.
Wrentham police, assisted by Norfolk, Plainville, Franklin and Foxboro police, broke up Friday night's party at 25 Kayshaw Drive.
All the youths were charged with being minors in possession of alcohol, and two of the suspects were also charged with drug offenses.
Some intensive police legwork led to the raid.
"The school resource officer received some information from Facebook," McGrath said. "Barry McGrath has devoted a lot of time to Facebook and MySpace activity of students at King Philip. This has been going on for a couple of years scrutinizing whatvever he can the activities of high school students, particularly the inappropriate activity of underage drinking.
"In addition to that, there were some town residents who expressed some concern about parties in that area," McGrath said of Kayshaw Drive.
Disturbing to police, the message of the dangers of underage drinking doesn't appear to be getting across to several youths, police say.
"I would say a majority of those arrested were wearing those pink bracelets in memory of Taylor Meyer," McGrath said, adding the rear window of one car had a message dedicated in her memory. "It just kind of struck me the kids arrested, it was kind of ironic and kind of shed some light on how shallow some of those expressions are. When it comes to putting words into action and showing any common sense, they are going out and drinking while underage.
"In some cases it is obvious they intended to drive," McGrath said. "It really doesn't reflect they learned any real lessons. They are like putting up a front they have learned lessons."
Police vow to continue to work to curb the underage drinking.
"Officers in Wrentham, Norfolk and Plainville are making a strong effort to learn about these underage parties and act on this information," McGrath said. "When we hear about a party, we keep an eye out and try to identify underage people."
Unlike in the past when underage drinkers were simply issued summons, "We are arresting them and sending a message we no longer will tolerate it," McGrath added. "If a parents is home, the social host responsibilty law" can be enforced.
Parents were home at the latest party.
"We are considering charging them at this point," McGrath said. "That probably will be decided the early part of the week."
Those arrested at the latest party are scheduled to be arraigned in Wrentham District Court Monday.
Friday night, Nov. 7, area police arrested 13 underage people at a drinking party in a secluded but elaborate and well-used shelter off Walnut Street in Plainville. Several were not KP students.
Also, 20 area teenagers were arrested at a party in Norfolk on Saturday night, Nov. 1. That incident at a home on Arnold Road came barely two weeks after Meyer's death. Although seven of those arrested at that party were from the KP towns, they were a separate group from those who attended the Oct. 17 airport party, police said.

People aren't upset because they are bored and just need something to talk about. They don't want this terrible situation to ever happen again. Nobody cares if it hinders some underage college or high school kids from endulging in drugs and alcahol - that's the point.
If people under 21 look at Wrentham as the worst place possible to drink and do drugs - thats great! - for US and for YOU.
I am happy and satisfied with both the police and media response to this matter. We really do have a fine police force in this town - willing to step up and put an end to the senseless mistakes that teenagers sometimes make.
I am under 30 and remember my partying high school days... one thing I realize now is that there is no need to get started early - you have your entire life to do whatever you want; and by then your experience and maturity (hopefully) wont allow you to make any major missteps. "

I cannot fathom how so many people are able to sit down and write negative, nasty comments to eachother instead of just grieving in their own space. I have not made any comments to the press, because honestly it is my families personal experience and I would like my feelings to remain that way until I feel that I am able to make intelligent decisions as to how to help kids come to grip with their decisions that night and the future actions that they have taken. I went to the court house today because I wanted those kids to see the pain on my face. The pain I carry every day. I carry that pain because of very stupid decisions that Taylor and her friends made that night. I am not sitting here thinking that Taylor did not have any part of her passing - she chose to drink that night...but she was left alone to find her way through those woods. With that - I have anger. All I ask is that you kids & parents take responsibility for eachother and take care of the ones you love. (cont'd) "

we don't know. Taylor was one of my close friends, i shared many unforgetable memories with her, she made me smile more than anyone else could. I was there that night and yes i was one of the last people who saw her and that does make me think everyday on how i could of stopped it, But it was an accident, something that wasn't meant to be, God planned this not any of her friends. Pointing fingers at teenagers isn't gonna get you anywhere, and by commenting isn't gonna get you anywhere either it just makes you very bothersome. You really have no clue if you weren't there, you have no clue if you weren't her friend, you have no clue . As a teenager I object to all parents who blame us that night, This wasn't our fault, this wasn't planned. We didn't expect this, this came to us in a horrible way and we pay for it every single "

What is amazing is that after facing the loss of a classmate, these kids haven't even taken a break from the drinking parties. And what is wrong with their parents? I guess it's a good thing the police are watching the kids.
This problem is not unique to the KP district, but these KP-related incidents are news because of Taylor's death, and because her classmates seem unable or unwilling to learn from that tragedy. Who will be next?

Please do not question my credibility. My so-called "anecdotal" evidence was not intended to be a cold, hard fact; however, my estimate of 70% was a relatively accurate estimate of the presence of alcohol in teens lives.
Take a look at this study from 2005:
http://www.monitoringthefuture.org/pubs/monographs/overview2005.pdf
I quote:
"Alcohol use remains extremely widespread among todays teenagers. Three out of every four students (75%) have consumed alcohol (more than just a few sips) by the end of high school; about two fifths (41%) have done so by 8th grade. In fact, more than half (58%) of the 12th graders and a fifth (20%) of the 8th graders in 2005 report having been drunk at least once in their life."
This is a nationwide issue. Taylor's death is not going to end this trend. Only proactive parents/guardians/friends can prevent alcohol/drug abuse.
Arguing with people who post here will not solve any of the perceived problems either.
elg2993:
Taylor's death was a terrible tragedy, and I agree that it was an accident.
I hope that students do not believe that these accidents cannot happen to them. The only advice that I have to give is to watch out for your friends. It is our responsibility to look after those who cannot look after themselves. "

I just wanted to know how you can assume that everyone who was at that party was drinking? and how would you know for sure if you weren't there so why are you just making up things about taylors best friend paige and sarah.. honestly it may look really bad for her friends for being at this underage drinking party but i know for a fact that neither one had a single sip of alcohol and havent since the tragedy and yes i agree what the police are doing is good, they are taking control for once and are enforcing the 0 tolerance in the tri-town but honestly enough trash talking about everyone. I think the people who were at the party friday night have been more respectful than alot of you may think and the people who got charged today for doing absolutely nothing don't deserve it at all they really don't and some people decided to stop by and say "heyy just wanted to wish you a happy birthday".. honestly to all you people on here you don't even know the story so i think it might be reasonable for you all to stop talking sh*t on here just ridiculous and pointless "

Taylors tragedy was an ACCIDENT. I am one of her close friends and I know for a fact she would not want her friends,family, and people through out the community, judging and putting the blame on people, when really it was an ACCIDENT. I was one of the teenagers that was there that night, and to be honest we weren't thinking, that's what teenagers do we make mistakes and we learn from them, WE ALL HAVE LEARNED. Heartbroken is the word to describe some of the kids recent decisions but i feel for them, they are trying to get back to normalcy but in the wrong way, they need help. We all need help, and by yelling,being angered and pointing the finger at 17 year old kids who were just trying to have fun with there friends that night make anything better? It doesn't. "

And thanks for making my point...I never commented on the motives of her actions, but rather how her actions are perceived. She blows up these kids spots on TV and they're demonized as stupid for not learning from Taylor's death. I would actually say prosecuting the kids who had coke is fine...it's how cops normally deal with banned substances. But saying each of these kids are guilty of underage possession of alcohol is questionable, especially when there's barely enough beers there for that to be possible (Unless everybody there was having a beer a piece...). These kids have futures that are being played with to make it look like teen drinking is going to come to an end in the name of Taylor Meyer. I don't mean to sound insensitive (believe it or not, I have experienced personal tragedy, but emotions should be left at the door when dealing with the law) but the reality is these kids don't deserve to be crucified for a lost cause. Prsecuting these kids will solve nothing. If you think otherwise, I think you are nieve, though unlike sickofitall I would still respect your decision to disagree with me. "

And Taylor's mom ripping bracelets off people's hands is nothing more than a rallying cry for everyone out there who thinks this is actually the way to solve the "problem" of underage drinking. Is police presence from 5 towns really necessary, or is it just an attempt to scare kids into thinking that they're next Guess what...cops could probably break up a party every weekend if they really wanted to. And kids would still drink.
Are the kids hypocrites for waring bracelets? Maybe...I'd like to know how everybody on here deals with death before asking that question. But is making martyrs out of them really going to solve the problem? It only jeopardizes their future at an unnecessary cost (if any of them get in trouble between now and their court date, they will end up in JAIL until that date...for originally being at a party with 20 beers) for a cause that will not win. Kids will still drink. Parents will think their kids don't drink when they do. The problem runs deeper than allowing kids to drink legally at a certain age...maybe if all these moms got off their computers and had a healthy dialogue with their kids about booze we wouldn't be reading this.

publius, the police do not need a warrant if they have reasonable cause to believe a crime is in progress and the evidence is in plain sight (when the door is opened). They could not enter or search the rest of the premises (say basement or upstairs) without a warrant unless it is to secure the scene and make sure there are no more victims or perpetrators there. However, if the person of the house (even an 18 year old) consents when the police ask if they can look around, then no warrant is needed at all. "

As a recent grad of a local school who has chosen to avoid the consumption of alcohol, I have a somewhat unique perspective on this topic. I see that there is a fundamental division among the arguments provided by teens and adults in relation to underage drinking.
It is important to establish some facts that many adults do not know about the teen subculture.
1. The MAJORITY of teens drink. I cannot provide an actual statistic, but I can say from experience that in my high school, over 70% of teens drink on a regular basis.
2. Teens do not view the consumption of alcohol as an unsafe and potentially fatal action.
3. Teens drink because they enjoy the sensation that alcohol provides, especially in a large social environment.
I can say with relative certainty that teens do not view alcohol related deaths in the same light that adults view those same deaths. To a teenager, these types of deaths are not caused by alcohol-- they are a result of unsafe decisions, such as drinking in the woods, walking off alone, etc.
Let me be clear:
Underage drinking will NEVER disappear because teens always strive to push the limit, to violate previous societal taboos. Until drinking is no longer taboo, teens will continue to seek places where they can consume alcohol undisturbed, places where safety is not prioritized. "
wrenthamrsdnt wrote on Nov 24, 2008 2:18 PM:
What could the police do to stop kids drinking at a house, before they actually have? By raiding these parties, they are sending a message that it will not be tolerated. That should at least make kids think twice. This whole idea of stopping them before they start has no legal grounds in this case. That is what they are trying to do. Just because I say I am going to illegally drink a beer next Friday does not mean the Police can do anything to me UNTIL I actually break that law. Obviously, if its pre-meditated murder or rape that I talk about, actions can be taken.
Everyone is to blame here. Parents, the kids, the school, emotions, access, everything. It needs to be agreed that in most cases, parents do what they can (sometimes too much sometimes not enough) and kids will try to do what they want. Some know what is right, some dont't know what is wrong. It all comes down to trying to keep everyone alive and as safe as they can. I think everyone can agree there is a difference between 10 kids in my basement drinking some beers and stayin over and this situation. Its not about not partying. "

Now, why were the police there? You can't raid a party just because there is a party. The SJC has ruled on this.
Maybe the police be stepping in beforehand? If the police knew about all of this drinking beforehand, and one of the kids decided to have a few before he/she drove the the party, don't they have a duty to step in? What if said kid crashed his/her car, and died? The police would have some questions to answer. If not legally, then morally.
I would think the police would try to prevent this BEFORE rather than letting the crime take place.
Don't get me wrong, it is a serious problem. But, I would think the game plan would be to prevent these kids from starting the party versus waiting untl it starts.
If you knew a rape was going to take place, would you wait? Charge them with conspiracy if need be. A crime is a crime, right? "

You were right, the parties went inside. And yes, it is an embarrassment to the KP communities but...it's only because the spotlight was on them. Everyone has banded together to fight this. Neighbors are calling police and the police are surfing Facebook.
If this tragedy had occurred in another town we'd see the same thing. It truly is universal.
I'm talking about North Attleboro HS
right now but it is everywhere. The North high school Facebook is full of "the good kids" ie the honor society members, sports teams members and team captains whose names appear in the Sun Chronicle on a regular basis are also the kids shown in homes,(most of them the high end houses) usually in the basements, drinking out of their mind by the bottles and labels.

I also mentioned not too long ago that those parents who wish to host these illegal parties, that luck isn't on your side.
But on the positive side, the neighbors are keeping watch and the police are all working together to crack down on what has now become an "Embarrassment to KP."
It's one thing to read about these stories in the Sun Chronicle. But since Taylor Meyer's tragedy, every party arrest since has made the headlines in the Boston Newspapers too.
